By agreeing to the terms available at www.localmotors.com/dominosTerms, and in consideration of the evaluation of your vehicle design submission (the "Design") by Local Motors, Inc. and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, "Local Motors") and Domino's Pizza LLC and/or its subsidiaries, affiliates and independent franchisees (collectively, "Domino's Pizza" and hereafter referred to as "Sponsor" or "the Sponsor") for possible use as part of a vehicle, a scale model or toy, clothing, wall graphics, and other items and/or as copy on a Local Motors, Inc. or Sponsor website or promotional materials (the "Items") as described in more detail below, you agree to the following terms and conditions (the "Design Submission Terms and Conditions"):
To Enter: No purchase or payment is necessary to enter this design contest, the Ultimate Delivery Vehicle Challenge (the "Contest"). The Contest consists of a series of five (5) individual competitions (each, a "Competition") as set forth in the chart below:
|Submission Phase
|8/13/12 – 9/23/12
|10/31/12 – 11/14/12
|11/27/12 – 12/18/12
|1/10/13 – 2/10/13
|2/11/13 – 2/22/13
The first submission, Design Competition Submission Phase, of the Contest listed in the chart above begins at 08:00 a.m. Eastern Time ("ET") and ends at 11:59 p.m. ET on the end date listed. All other subsequent submission phases of the Contest listed in the chart above begin at 12:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time ("PST") and end at 11:59 p.m. ET on the end dates listed. Local Motors computer is the official time keeping device for the Contest.
To enter any Competition within the Contest, you must complete and submit the online form located via http://localmotors.com/dominos (or such other web page as may be designated by Local Motors) within the time period and by the specific submission date stated therein. In addition to the required identifying information, an entry must include an eligible Design. For a Design to be eligible, it must not have previously won any award or prize in a commercial contest prior to submission in this Contest or have been entered in any other commercial competition or contest where its entry would permit that contest or other entity any legal claim or rights to the Design. Any late, lost, misdirected, incorrect or incomplete entries will be disqualified and Local Motors and the Sponsor (and their agents) will not be responsible for such entries. In addition, Local Motors reserves the right to decline to select or disqualify a Design for consideration for any reason, including but not limited to poor design, indecent or profane content incorporated into the Design or violation of the Design Submission Terms and Conditions, as further explained in the "Decline Reasons" page of the Local Motors website (currently located at http://local-motors.com/static.php?p=decline_reasons), which location and the reasons contained therein may be subject to change from time to time for particular Competitions. Designs will not be returned to entrants. You may submit more than one Design for consideration in each of the Competitions that comprise the Contest. You understand that Local Motors receives numerous submissions, many of which are similar to one another (and may be similar to your Design). Local Motors does not wish to receive any Design that you wish to treat as confidential or proprietary, so please do not submit anything of that nature to Local Motors and expect that it will be held in confidence by us or anyone else to whom Local Motors is expressly permitted to disclose the Design under these Design Submission Terms and Conditions.
In the event of a dispute regarding any Design, the authorized account holder of the email address used to register will be deemed to be the entrant or participant. The "authorized account holder" is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Each potential winner may be required to show proof of being an authorized account holder.
Eligibility and Indemnity: This Contest is open only to individuals who are at least age eighteen (18) years of age or older at the time of entry. Employees of Local Motors, the Sponsor and any of their parent and affiliate companies as well as members of their immediate family (spouse, parents, siblings and children) are not eligible. Additionally, individuals who work for a major automotive or design firm, make sure you know and fully understand your contractual obligations to your employer. Local Motors and the Sponsor claim no responsibility of any kind for any type of conflict of interest. Any conflict of interest in this area may void your status as a winner if you are chosen as a finalist or winner in the Contest. This Contest is subject to all applicable foreign, domestic, federal, state, provincial, territorial and local laws and regulations and is void where prohibited or otherwise restricted by law, including but not limited to any jurisdictions with laws that would require any registration, disclosure, filing, trust account, or posting of a bond, or any other requirements, that are not satisfied by these terms and conditions. To be eligible, you must agree to abide by the Design Submission Terms and Conditions and be bound by all Local Motors and Sponsor decisions relating to this Contest, which are final and binding in all respects, including but not limited to Local Motors' and Sponsor's determination of the winner. You will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Local Motors (and its employees, agents, and Local Motors websites' community members), and the Sponsor (and its employees, agents, and independent franchisees) against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and liabilities arising from or based on any breach by you of these Design Submission Terms and Conditions.
Entrant Representations and Warranties: By submitting any Design, you represent and warrant that: (i) you are the sole owner of all rights to the Design, which was created without any suggestion or request from any third party, and any development, use, production, distribution or other exploitation thereof will not infringe, misappropriate or violate any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity; (ii) you are not, and will not be, violating your obligations or any rights of any third party by providing the Design or complying with your obligations hereunder; (iii) you have not previously licensed, sold, commercialized, transferred or assigned the Design to another person or entity; (iv) the Design must not disparage Local Motors, the Sponsor or any other person or party affiliated with the promotion and administration of this Contest; (v) the Design must not feature brand names or trademarks other than those of the Sponsor which entrant has not obtained a limited license to use to incorporate into his/her Design for this Contest; and (vi) you have the full right to provide Local Motors and the Sponsor (where applicable) with the assignments and rights provided for herein.
Design License Grants: By submitting a Design, you hereby do and shall grant Local Motors and the Sponsor a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable and transferable license to use, modify, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display in whole or in part, perform, and otherwise fully exploit the Design in connection with the Local Motors website(s), Sponsor website(s), public viewing and voting for this Contest, and/or otherwise in connection with Local Motors' and Domino's Pizza's (and its successors and assigns) marketing activities, in any media formats and through any media channels or technology now known or later developed (including, without limitation, third party websites). In addition, you hereby do and shall grant each user of the Local Motors website(s) the rights you grant in the Terms of Use therein, including, without limitation, a license to access and vote on your Design through such website(s). For clarity, Local Motors nor the Sponsor shall use your Design to build a vehicle or otherwise assert any ownership rights over your Design, including describing your Design as a Local Motors or Sponsor branded vehicle (beyond any Local Motors or Sponsor branding you have incorporated in your Design), unless or until Local Motors (on behalf of itself and the Sponsor) has paid you for the right to build a vehicle based on your Design or you have assigned your rights in the Design to Domino's Pizza, respectively, in accordance with the Section below entitled "Selected Design." If requested, you will sign any documentation required for Local Motors, the Sponsor or their designees to make use of the non-exclusive rights you are granting to use the Design.
Restrictions on Use of Submitted Designs: In submitting your Design, you agree not to reproduce, adapt, display, or distribute, sell, or submit to others the Design for any commercial purpose, or enter the Design in another competition or contest for ninety (90) days after the end of the designated submission period (i.e., while the Design is being evaluated by Local Motors and the Sponsor). Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, especially if you are a student but also for any other designer, you always retain the right (including during such ninety (90) day period) to include the Design in your personal portfolio for purposes of securing employment. Once the ninety (90) days have passed, even if your Design has not been selected as the winner by Local Motors and the Sponsor, Local Motors and the Sponsor may still choose to continue to use your Design for marketing purposes (e.g., on their respective websites or on television, or in email or printed media) pursuant to the license granted above; however, you are free to use the Design for any commercial or non-commercial purpose and to request that Local Motors and the Sponsor stop using the Design by notifying Local Motors by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Following receipt of your notice, Local Motors and the Sponsor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to remove your Design from their websites and all of their marketing materials in as timely a manner as possible; however, you acknowledge and agree that Local Motors and the Sponsor are not obligated to remove Designs from, and retains a limited right to use the Designs in, their existing marketing materials, including without limitation where such removal would be impractical (such as in printed media and television that has already been distributed). In addition, if your Design is to be used elsewhere, you cannot use the Local Motors web community (created through, for example, Car Chat and blogs) (the "Community") to promote the Design or the person or entity using the Design. You further agree not to use the Community to promote the products and/or services of any person or entity that operates in competition, directly or indirectly, with Local Motors. Local Motors reserves the right to choose your Design as the winner even after the ninety (90) day evaluation period has passed, on the condition that the Design has not yet been used for commercial purposes.
Invalid Competition: If a minimum of 10 approved Designs are not received in a given Competition, then the Competition will be considered invalid, and no winner will be selected and no Prize awarded for that Competition.
Winner Selection: Winners will be determined according to the process set forth below. The winning entry(s) for each Competition will be selected by Local Motors and the Sponsor, in their sole discretion, and the decisions of Local Motors and the Sponsor are final. For select Competitions, a voting phase will occur as set forth in the Design Brief during which any Designs submitted in the Competition will be posted in an online gallery for public voting at www.localmotors.com/dominos. Registered members of the Community will be invited to vote for the Design they believe meets the criteria of the Design Brief and best reflects the "Ultimate Delivery Vehicle". Limit: Each person may vote one (1) time per day during the voting phase. Multiple votes received from any person or email address in excess of the stated number will be void. Entrants are prohibited from obtaining votes by any fraudulent or inappropriate means, including, without limitation, offering prizes or other inducements to members of the public, as determined by Local Motors in its sole discretion. Subject to the entrant's compliance with these Design Terms and Conditions, the ten (10) entrants whose Designs receive the highest number of valid votes during the Voting Phase will be deemed a finalist ("Finalist") for the applicable Competition. Local Motors website users may view, rate and provide comments on a Design for the period of time designated on the Competition web page following the submission and acceptance of a Design, all of which will impact the value of the votes submitted during the voting phases. Local Motors reserves the right to select more than ten (10) Finalists for a Competition if, in its sole discretion, it determines that it has received more than ten (10) Designs that are worthy of be judged during the judging phase of the Competition. In the event of a tie, Local Motors will advance all tied Designs to the judging phase for the Competition. Local Motors reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to select an alternate Finalist should the voting appear to have been tampered with or manipulated in any way.
In selecting the winning entry, Local Motors and the Sponsor will take into consideration ratings and comments provided by its website users in connection with the Designs. In addition to the ratings and comments from Local Motors website users following the submission and acceptance of a Design, Local Motors and the Sponsor will also consider, among other things: (i) feasibility of the Design and/or whether it is buildable, (ii) marketability and (iii) and Sponsor feedback.
Select Competitions may be operated as a collaboration among Community Members instead of a competitive challenge. Community Members will be tasked with providing ideas and feedback in accordance with the directions and instructions set forth in the applicable Design Brief. During the collaboration, all participating Community Members who provide meaningful and productive contributions (as determined by Local Motors and Sponsor in their sole discretion), will receive a portion of any prize money set aside for the individual Competition in proportion to each Community Member's Influence –determined through the application of Local Motor's proprietary and confidential algorithms and best judgment. "Influence" is hereby defined as the measure of a Community Member's contribution to packaging deliverables, commenting on the Forge and overall level of participation, as determined solely at the discretion of Local Motors.
Each potential winner must sign (and winning is contingent upon the winner signing) an affidavit of eligibility, liability & publicity release, assignment and other documentation relating to the Prize (as defined below) that will be sent via mail or email ("Winner Agreements"). The Winner Agreements must be returned to Local Motors within ten (10) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent in order for the potential winner to be officially recognized. If the potential winner cannot be contacted, is unable to accept the Prize, or if the potential winner does not execute and return the Winner Agreements within ten (10) days after Local Motors' mailing of the same, Local Motors may automatically disqualify the potential winner and may select another potential winner in accordance with this Section. Community Members who receive prize money for participation in any Competition operated as a collaboration will be required to complete Winner Agreements as well. Among other things, the potential winner must agree to grant Local Motors and the Sponsor permission to use his/her name, place of residence, photograph and likeness, Design and Prize information for advertising and promotion of this and similar promotions and/or the Local Motors' and Sponsor products or services worldwide, in any and all media now known or hereafter devised, including the Internet, without limitation and without compensation, notification, permission or other consideration, unless prohibited by law; and the potential winner must sign any applicable forms required by tax authorities. The Prize will only be awarded to a winner if he/she complies with all of these Design Submission Terms and Conditions and the terms and conditions of the Winner Agreements. Entrants may request a list of winners by mailing a request to Local Motors, Attn: Competition Administrator, 1576B S. Nelson Rd Chandler AZ 85226.
Selected Designs: If your Design is selected as one of the top three (3) winning entries (or a lower level Prize winning entry should the applicable Competition award more than three winners) in any of the Competitions by Local Motors and the Sponsor (the "Selected Designs") and in consideration for the Prize awarded to you by Local Motors on behalf of Sponsor, you shall irrevocably grant, transfer, convey and assign to Sponsor the entirety of the rights (including any and all intellectual and industrial property rights of any sort) in and to the Design and all renewals and extensions of copyright, and the right to secure copyright registrations thereto in perpetuity including, without limitation, the rights to use the Design for any and all purposes in any and all media whether now known or hereafter developed, on a worldwide basis, in perpetuity. Each winner will indemnify Local Motors and the Sponsor, and any licensee of the same against all claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and legal expenses) arising out of any breach of these Design Terms and Conditions. You shall assist the Sponsor, at its expense, to further evidence, record and perfect such assignments, and to perfect, obtain, maintain, enforce, and defend any rights assigned. You hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Sponsor as your agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and in your behalf to execute and file any document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed by you. To the extent allowed by law, this Section and any license to Local Motors or the Sponsor hereunder includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as moral rights, artist's rights, droit moral or the like. To the extent any of the foregoing is ineffective under applicable law, you hereby provide any and all ratification and consents necessary to accomplish the purposes of the foregoing to the extent possible. You will confirm any such ratification and consents from time to time as requested by Local Motors or the Sponsor.
Local Motors and the Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, use the Selected Designs in any manner they choose, including but not limited to, reproducing the Selected Designs on the Items, selling Items bearing the Selected Designs, changing or reworking the Selected Designs by making color or size changes, making derivative works of the Selected Designs, building or selling the Selected Designs if they are a part of a car, building a scale model or toy based on or incorporating any Selected Design (or any revised version thereof) but not an entire actual production vehicle, and using the Selected Designs on a Local Motors or Sponsor website and on promotional material for Local Motors or the Sponsor. For the sake of clarity, if your Design is selected as a top three (3) winning entry in any of the Competitions, you may no longer use, or allow others to use, such Design. Each winner accepts and acknowledges that Local Motors and the Sponsor shall not be obligated to use the Design and that Local Motors and the Sponsor in their sole discretion shall have the right to refrain from using the Design. Local Motors nor the Sponsor shall incur any liability whatsoever to the extent that either chooses to refrain from any exploitation of its rights hereunder. In addition, Local Motors and Sponsor expects to, but are not obligated to, choose one of the Selected Designs from the Design Competition as the basis for manufacturing an entire actual production vehicle; however, if they do choose one of the Selected Designs for that purpose and such Design serves as the primary influence for a production vehicle, then Local Motors will pay you $20,000 cash. In that case you also agree to make yourself available to Local Motors and the Sponsor, upon reasonable request and at no charge, to answer questions about your Selected Design and to assist Local Motors and the Sponsor, at their sole discretion, with the production process of the vehicle.
Given that automotive manufacturers for the past century have essentially been the only practical entity to make use of an automotive design, a larger body of automotive design work and creation has grown naturally to become the purview of the automotive manufacturers and their in-house design staff. Local Motors is in the business of trying to democratize that design process, and recognizes that this democratization will challenge the notion of where designers can find an outlet for their talents. Nonetheless, if you work (or have worked) for a company who might claim an interest to your Design, you are advised to consult the company's legal counsel as to any restriction or ownership that the company might have on your Designs so that you might legally assign your Design to Local Motors and the Sponsor as described above.
Prize: If your Design is selected for use by Local Motors and Sponsor, you will receive a minimum cash or equivalent prize of at least $50.00. Additional cash prizes (including the $20,000 cash award referenced above) and other prizes may be awarded, in Local Motors' and Sponsor's sole discretion, depending on the type of Competition and whether Local Motors and the Sponsor decide to build an entire production vehicle based on your Design. You agree that such prizes awarded by Local Motors on behalf of the Sponsor (the "Prize") are the only consideration due to you by Local Motors and the Sponsor with respect to the assignment of the Selected Design. Local Motors reserves the right to change the payment terms at any time, by posting them on the Local Motors website, and changes will be effective upon posting of the new terms. The method of payment will be based on the terms in effect when your Design is selected; however Local Motors expects to issue the cash payment via Pay Pal unless that is not possible for some reason, in which case Local Motors will contact the winner to work out a mutually acceptable payment mechanism. You alone will be responsible for the payment of any tax that arises as a result of receiving the Prize from Local Motors. The Prize will be sent within ninety (90) days after Local Motors receives the Selected Design in a high-resolution format deemed suitable by Local Motors for usage. If the high-resolution format is not deemed suitable for usage as determined by Local Motors, then Local Motors will notify you of the reason(s) for its determination by email and will make a good-faith effort to assist you in presenting a suitable high-resolution format.

News The Lamoille Stories: Reading by Bill Schubart, April 13.
MARLBORO, VT - (April 7, 2009) - Author Bill Schubart will read selections from his new book The Lamoille Stories: Uncle Benoit's Wake and Other Tales from Vermont on Monday, April 13 at 7:00 pm in Marlboro College's Ragle Hall, Serkin Center.
Schubart's book brings to life the friends and characters of his native Lamoille County, where in the late 1950s and early 1960s, life was lived close to the earth and often against the grain. Schubart's collection of twenty-two stories captures Vermont in transition from an enclave of hill farms and small towns where everyone knew your grandfather to a place where vehicles bearing license plates from "away" mix with hippie vans filled with born-again Vermonters getting back to the land...until snowfall.
"Bill Schubart captures something of Vermont that many of us barely remember, and others may never experience. Each of The Lamoille Stories is a unique experience -lovingly told, with insight, pathos, and especially humor," said Joseph A. Citro, author of Passing Strange and Cursed.
Bill Schubart has lived with his family in Vermont since 1947. He writes and speaks extensively on the media and other civic issues and has written as well for Current. He has spoken at numerous industry and media events including Book Expo. He also writes and publishes opinion and fiction at www.Schubart.com. He is a founder of Resolution, Inc., a fully integrated E-commerce services partner. He cofounded Phil Records, an independent record label, as well as the Pleiades Music Group, a music publishing company. At the age of 26, Schubart was elected Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Vermont Arts Council, the State's arts agency - the youngest trustee ever to serve as Chairman - and then served again at age 41.
This event is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact the Marlboro College Public Relations Department at (802) 251-7644, or visit the news section at www.marlboro.edu.
Marlboro College offers undergraduate education in the liberal arts and graduate study focused on Internet technologies. Its 330 undergraduate students enjoy an 8:1 student-faculty ratio, a voice in governing the community and individualized courses of study on a 350-acre campus in the hills of southern Vermont.

Venetia Hotel
Which part of Hong Kong do I need to go to take a Ferry going to Macau? How long long is the travel?
How much is the cost in the Ferry going to Macau?
I am booked at Wynn Casino Hotel, how will I go to Senator's Park? How far is this Hotel from Venetia Casino Hotel
What are the tourist spots in Macau? Is it a small city that I can easily move around? Is itadvisable to reach Macau from Lantau Island in Hong Kong?
For taking ferry to Macau from Hong Kong, there are two places that you can take from:
1. HK Macau Ferry Terminal at Shun Tak Centre, Connaught Road West, Sheung Wan at Hong Kong Island side. It's near to Sheung Wan MTR Station which is 1 station west of Central MTR Station on Island Line (the terminus station for Island Line). From Airport, take Citybus A11 to Shun Tak Centre.
2. HK China Ferry Terminal at Harbour City Gateway, Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui at Kowloon Side. It's near Kowloon Park (West of Kowloon Park) and its within walking distance from Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station/East Tsim Sha Tsui KCR Station for Tsuen Wan Line for MTR and East Rail Line for KCR (thats go all the way to Lo Wu, Shenzhen). From Airport, take Airport Express to Kowloon Station and take a taxi.
The cost for the ferry is from HK$142 for Turbojet for Weekdays and from HK$152 for weekends and service from both Terminals. For NWFF, from HK$133 for weekdays and from HK$148 for weekends. It departs from HK China Ferry Terminal only. Timings are approx. 60-75 minutes depending on several factors (eg. type of vessels, weather condition etc.)
For Macau, the best way is take a taxi to around, so all your trip will be by taxi. The distance between Wynn Macau and Venetian is not very far and its only 10 to 15 minutes taxi ride between the two.
There are many tourist spots in Macau and if you want to knoe more, visit: http://www.macautourism.gov.mo/en/index.php for the details. Yes, Macau its a very small city that its easy to get around and taxi fares here are inexpensive in western standard as on par with many asian destination. As for getting from Lantau Island in Hong Kong to Macau, currently its not advisable until the new bridge is constucted that plies between Hong Kong and Macau. But if you want, you can take a taxi to Mui Wo and take a ferry to Central Ferry Terminal, than walk to Central MTR Station and take the MTR Island Line towards Sheung Wan and alight at Sheung Wan Station. Or Taxi to Tung Chung MTR Station. Take the Tung Chung Line all the way to Hong Kong Station. Transfer at Central Station and follow the above mention.

Resolution calls for a comprehensive approach to evaluating city's assets and leveraging them for maximum benefit
BALTIMORE, MD – Today City Council President Bernard C. "Jack" Young will introduce legislation (Council bill11-0274R) to explore the feasibility of leveraging the city's assets, like vehicles, real estate and ball fields, to raise much-needed revenue through corporate sponsorships.
Council President Young's resolution – Corporate Sponsorship of City Assets – would call for a public hearing to investigate the fragmented approach city agencies currently take with regard to corporate sponsorships, determine if sponsorship of city assets can legally be sold, and discuss which assets could best be bundled for sponsorship.
"With Baltimore continuing to face multi-million dollar budget deficits year after year, more needs to be done to grow our revenue base," Council President Young said. "That growth should not involve raising taxes and fees – which in some instances are already too high – on our cash-strapped citizens."
Dr. Bill Sutton, associate director and professor of the University of Central Florida's DeVos Sport Business Management program, predicted that a host of companies would jump at the opportunity to market their products to Baltimoreans and support important social programs, like recreation and education, through corporate sponsorships.
"Corporate sponsorship for a city like Baltimore, with the right activation platforms, can be an excellent vehicle for engagement marketing or even re-branding," Dr. Sutton said. "On one hand you are identified as a good citizen and supporter of cause marketing, while at the same time, because of the uniqueness of the opportunity, the publicity that could be generated from the cause marketing activities would be an excellent" return on the company's initial investment.
Jim Kahler, who serves as executive director of the Center of Sports Administration at Ohio University, called municipal sponsorships an emerging field.
"Sponsorships in our country and across the globe are continuing to grow and become a larger part of the overall marketing mix for a wide variety of corporations," said Mr. Kahler, who for more than a decade served as the chief marketing officer for the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers and was responsible for both the team and arena's sponsorship deals. "Municipal marketing is an emerging category within sponsorships that enables cities like Baltimore to package unique assets that will not get lost in the clutter of traditional advertising."
Council President Young's resolution calling for corporate sponsorship of city assets will be introduced on Monday, April 11, 2011, during the City Council's regularly-scheduled meeting.

"Creativity is a highfalutin word for the work."
—Ray Kroc
Making Money with Silhouettes & Plotters
PDF file
Silhouette designs are easy to produce, rendered quickly for faster money and turnaround, and boast higher sales volume. Additionally, if done properly, silhouette graphics ore very cool to the customer because of the perceived value of a seemingly complex design.
Silhouettes are produced with either a positive or a negative stencil. With negative stencils, you spray the desired color inside the "hole" of the stencil. With positive stencils (which I'll cover in the next issue) the opposite is done-you spray to the outside of the shape or image.
Most of my stencils ore generated from a plotter. This is an advanced and sophisticated integration of T-shirt art, and it is quite high tech. I strongly encourage all shirt artists to explore this technique. It's not only the future-it's the now-so don't delay the inevitable. A good quality plotter capable of cutting stencils (for those of you who may not know, the design is first created on the computer, and then generated from the plotter) costs from $1,500 to $4,000, and the best deals are found through the Internet.
After much searching, I found a perfect image suited for an "x-treme†biking silhouette. It's important to note that I'm always on the lookout for new images, so I frequently archive reference photos for future designs.
NOTE: Detailed instruction on the use of Adobe Photoshop falls beyond the scope of this article. For further information or home-based instruction, I suggest two excellent references: the WOW instructional book series by Peachpit Press, and Adobe's Classroom In A Book.
Step 1:
Scan the photo into the computer. Working in PhotoShop, I used the eraser tool to create a border around the image. The checker-board pattern around the bike indicates the area that ahs been erased.
Step 2:
Using the lasso tool to select and protect the desired area, the background is then erased.
Step 3:
In PhotoShop, I converted the image to black and touched up the irregularities. After floating it, I saved it as TIFF file.
Step 4:
Next, I import the image into my sign program and posterized it to two colors (black and white]. Then I converted it into a vector (a mathematical description of a line).
Step 5:
The vector line image looks like this with its corresponding node and points. These must be adjusted to clean up the image and generate a smooth cutting path.
Step 6:
Here is a perfect example of a finished silhouette with its designated stencil components. The black area represents the first section of the stencil to be used, and the red area is used next.
Step 7:
This i s my Allen Datagraph plotter processing the Lexan Polycarbonate sheeting (.010 thickness). This is without a doubt the most time saving item I have ever purchased for my shop.
Step 8:
The material is scored (not cut completely through) to protect the blade from cutting into the plotter bed. The scored material easily breaks along its edge. I left some of the pieces intact so you could see the difference.
Step 9:
Pictured here is a line drawing of the stencil.
Step 10:
Spray adhesive is lightly applied to the back of the stencil and affixed to the surface.
Step 11:
I used opaque black to fill in the silhouete of the bike and shaded the knobbies of the tire track.
Step 12:
The balance of the knobby tire track is airbrushed with light brown.
Step 13:
To prevent tearing, gently peel the stencil from the surface.
Step 14:
The detailed area shown earlier is colored in red on my computer screen. Then it is positioned accordingly.
Step 15:
Opaque blue is airbrushed into the detail area and used to defeat the black.
Step 16:
The stencil is carefully removed and our biker is beginning to look way cool.
Step 17:
Using transparent blue, I create a soft halo around the design. This i s best accomplished by spraying from about ten inches or more from the surface.
Step 18:
Using a spray can as a stencil is a convenient way to create the sun or the moon. I spray yellow around it until it blends with the blue.
Step 19:
Here's the result. Next comes the stippling. Did you know the technique of deflecting sprayed paint off a clothespin originate from shirt artists? It i s used frequently in many other airbrush applications, too.
Step 20:
For stippling smaller grain patterns, the pin and airbrush are held closer to the surface. For larger stippling spots and patterns, the equipment is held farther back. Simply experiment to find your desired range.
Step 21:
Scratch letters look way cool and are among the easiest and fastest to airbrush, not to mention that it matches the "x-treme" feeling of the design.
Step 22:
Here, red i s used to outline "Jacob and underline "X-treme.†Finally, the white highlights are added.
Airbrush Action delivers to its readers the exciting world of airbrush, airbrushing, airbrush artists, art, and other cutting-edge forms of painting. Editorial includes use of stencils, airbrush makeup, airbrush tanning, body art, the spectrum of paint brands and colors, array of kits, airbrush sets, brushes, models, airbrush tattoo, airbrush compressor, compressors, paint, Iwata airbrushes (trigger, double-action, single action, price) and tons more. The airbrush is one of the most dynamic art tools available and Airbrush Action has been demonstrating that for more than 26 years.

Exploring A Tucson Trail
Tanque Verde Canyon is a rugged, picturesque landscape that lies just east of Tucson, Arizona. Its rock walls plunge deep, ending in a sandy bottom where large trees and vegetation sprout from their desert oasis. This area has long been a popular trail destination given its close proximity to Tucson.
This area lies in a portion of the Coronado National Forest near Redington Pass, a mere 30-minute drive from the edge of town. But get out here behind a shallow range of mountains, and you can quickly let your mind forget the sprawl of the nearby urban environment.
We headed out of the northeast corner of the metropolis and followed the winding dirt Redington Road climbing up in elevation. The area where we hit trail is known as the Redington Pass Backcountry Touring Area and has a wide array of multi-use trails to explore for everything from hikers to horses to ATVs and 4WDs. This high desert varies from craggy ravines to rolling grassy hills backed by the higher Rincon Mountains to the southeast.
Our goal for the day was to traverse 4WD trails to the destination of Chivo Falls, a towering rockface in the dead-end of one of the canyons. Our group of 10 or so mixed rigs aired down and followed the first portion of the trail to Three Feathers. This piece of carved rock hillside is a popular play area that offers a good variety of crawling challenges, going both up and down the hillside. Many of the drivers played on the multiple obstacles while we regrouped before heading onward.
We stopped later in the day in a tree-lined wash for a lunch break in the shade. The cottonwoods grow tall here given their ample water supply during the rainier seasons. Continuing onward, we arrived at the canyon where Chivo Falls resides, and a short walk in the bottom of this scenic canyon left us looking upward at the source of the fall, probably 60 feet above us. The day we ran the trail had been after a somewhat dry spell, and the fall had been reduced to a smaller trickle. However, we'd heard that after a short rain, the high-plunging water was a sight to see pouring onto the sandy bottom below. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the views, and a few explored the cliff face and the shallow cave about halfway up the wall.

McMinnville resident Kevin Weeks dies suddenly; norovirus infection suspected cause
Mar 21, 2013
News-Register Staff
McMinnville resident Kevin Weeks, a former Yamhill County Sheriff's Office employee, died Tuesday at home.
The 43-year-old weeks was working as a spokesman for the Oregon Department of Forestry at the time of his death.
He was among 40 people at a State Forests Advisory Committee meeting last Friday at the Forest Grove Community Auditorium, The Oregonian reported.
The forestry meeting was a daylong affair, with a catered breakfast and lunch. Last weekend, 15 people developed severe gastrointestinal symptoms, typical of a norovirus infection.
No one sought medical treatment. Many of the 15 people reported Monday they were feeling better. However, Weeks stayed home sick, and died the following morning.
The Oregon Public Health Division suspects that fruit salad carrying norovirus caused the illness. However, an exact cause of death has not been determined. An autopsy was conducted.
The salad was part of a buffet catered by Maggie's Buns, a Forest Grove establishment. The company also served same source fruit at other events and nobody attending got sick, which narrowed the outbreak to the meeting attended by Weeks.
Maggie Pike, owner of Maggie's Buns, did not return a call to The Oregonian.
Weeks worked for the sheriff's office at the public information officer from June 1997-August 2000, according to Sheriff Jack Crabtree. He left the department but returned and worked from November 2000-February 2001.
Weeks then took a position as a spokesperson with Oregon OSHA (Oregon Occupational Safety & Health Division) and went to work for the Oregon Department of Forestry in 2007.
"Kevin was a very intelligent guy who was dedicated and knew the PIO business," Crabtree said. "Anyone that knew him knows that he was blessed with a voice that was second to none in the PIO business."
Survivors include his wife, Stacy, and a daughter.

Supreme Court will hear JobsOhio lawsuit Nov. 6
The Columbus Dispatch - August 22, 2013 3:08 PM
The Ohio Supreme Court has scheduled oral arguments for 9 a.m. Nov. 6 in a much-anticipated case questioning the constitutionality of Gov. John Kasich's privatized economic development firm, JobsOhio.
The lawsuit by two Democratic state reps and liberal advocacy group ProgressOhio was thrown out in common pleas and appeals courts by judges who ruled the groups didn't have legal standing to challenge the constitutional status of JobsOhio. Thus no court has yet decided the basic question of whether Kasich's entity passes constitutional muster.
The high court could limit its ruling to the "standing" issue, which presumably would send the case back down to common pleas court for consideration of the actual merits of the lawsuit. Or justices could decide the entire case -- standing, constitutionality and all -- although that's probably not likely since they have not received briefs on the overall issues.
Justice Terrence O'Donnell recused himself from the case.
The JobsOhio decision also is important because it will impact similar rulings against the Ohio Roundtable, which lower courts have declared also didn't have "standing" to pursue its challenge of the constitutionality of adding electronic slots at the state's seven horse tracks, which supporters billed as a mere expansion of the Ohio Lottery. The Supreme Court has placed a hold on the Roundtable's appeal until the JobsOhio case is determined.

After law school, Jason Kilborn clerked for Judge Walter K. Stapleton of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. He then was a bankruptcy associate with Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton in New York and at Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering in Washington, DC.
In over a decade of academic research, Professor Kilborn has focused on a comparison of bankruptcy and insolvency in the U.S. with similar systems in Europe and elsewhere in the world. He has written numerous articles and a book on comparative bankruptcy for individuals (including an analysis of Islamic law, shari'a), he co-authored a book on international cooperation in cross-border business bankruptcy, and he is a national reporter and co-editor of a series of detailed comparative analyses of business reorganization practices around the world (the latter two items published by Oxford University Press).
Professor Kilborn chaired a drafting group for a World Bank project on the treatment of insolvency of natural persons, and he has advised several national governments on their development of personal insolvency laws. He served a four-year term as the Van der Grinten Chair in International and Comparative Insolvency Law at the Radboud University in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, as well as a one-semester term as the Robert M. Zinman Scholar in Residence at the American Bankruptcy Institute.
Professor Kilborn joined the John Marshall faculty in 2007 and teaches Secured Transactions, Bankruptcy, Corporations, Civil Procedure II, and Payment Systems. Visit Professor Kilborn's homepage

Men's Health
Fit and Healthy Men: Wellness Tips From the Pros
Techniques to Try if You Want To ...
Increase Speed
One of the best ways to increase your speed is by running 10-yard sprints, says Vince Gabriele, MS, owner of Gabriele Fitness and Performance in Berkeley Heights, N.J.
Gabriele, who has personally trained San Diego Chargers Luis Castillo and Quentin Jammer and New York Jets running back LaDainian Tomlinson, says short sprints with full recoveries are a safe and effective way to improve speed. Start out with six sprints and gradually increase the number every few weeks. Give your body a chance to rest for about 60 seconds in between sprints. Keep changing your starting position -- standing with your feet wide, lying on your stomach, kneeling -- to improve your reactive ability and upper body strength.
NFL pros also lift weights to increase their speed. Olympic weightlifting techniques like the clean and jerk and snatch aren't just for bodybuilders. By lifting your maximum weight in short bursts, you'll not only build muscle, you'll also improve your power. "Olympic weightlifting teaches the body to be explosive and stimulates a large number of muscle fibers at a fast rate," Livingstone says.
"As a lineman, one of the best benefits of the Olympic lifts is it's going to give you an explosive first step," Griffin says. "When the ball is snapped, those first couple of steps can decide whether you're going to win or lose."
Even off the field, the quick, intense movements of Olympic lifting can help keep you faster on your toes.
Improve Flexibility
Stretching is the old standby for increasing flexibility, but you don't want to do it the old-fashioned way. Your high school gym teacher probably told you to hold each stretch for 20 to 30 seconds, but experts say you'll actually reduce your performance and subject your muscles to micro-tears by doing static stretches before you're warmed up.
Research has found that stretching actively -- with lunges or squats -- is better for improving range of motion. Crocker starts his workouts with a series of dynamic stretches -- quick movements that stretch muscles. Save the static stretches for after your workout when your muscles are already loose. Only after he's finished a full routine does Crocker cool down with some light stretches.
Build Muscle
To improve your muscle tone, plan to hit the gym three to five times a week. Focus on the big muscle groups with exercises like squats and bench presses.
You don't need to lift as much weight as a football player to build muscle. At the peak of his NFL career, Griffin was bench pressing about 485 pounds. A more realistic goal if you're not a pro is probably in the range of 150 to 175 pounds, Griffin says.
Go for 1 to 3 sets of 6 to 15 reps each, but don't kill yourself. "Don't train to failure," Rubin advises. "When you get through with a set, know that you've got maybe two to three reps left in you." If you train too hard, it can take a week or more for your body to recover, he says.

Afternoon tea here is the most luxurious in town, with thoughtful twists like rose petal jam for scones.
Poor Service – I recently stayed at the Palace Hotel for a convention.
When I tried to check in, I experienced extremely long lines at the front desk. There were some of staff members around, but no one seemed to be helping.
My room was pretty shoddy for a "luxury" hotel and in serious need of an update. The bed was especially uncomfortable.
I have stayed at Motel 6s with better service and nicer rooms.
Gorgeous & Comfortable – My husband and I try to stay in a new hotel each time we stay in SF (which is about once every other month since we left the city). This is the only hotel in this price range that we have been lured back to more than once. The building is absolutely beautiful, and decorated to make you feel as though you are there to be catered to. The rooms were cool, classic, and comfortable. The bed was a particular highlight, as both my husband and I agreed that it was one of the most comfortable we had slept in. Room service was excellent--great vegetarian omelet. Cool pub across the street--House of Shields.
Bad Experience – 1. They note down credit card information on note full information (credit card number and expiry date), they did it at least two occasions with me.
2. Front-desk associate watching intolerable contents on laptop, and avoiding basic services by not giving EVEN room key while check-in, customer has to ASK for the key, they are so busy in watching laptop.
3. Gym was not working for 7+ weeks, repeatedly mentioned about it and no response.
4. Dan Karki never ever respond to any of my voice mails on customer issues, at least Dan Karki not called back on 4 voice mails
5. Bugs were found on pillows and bed sheet, reported the bugs with pillow to front-desk "Dimitry".
6. Reward points were stopped without communicating to customer; Customer should be first communicated before taking away something from Customer.
7. When I file complain to corporate office , Dan Karki was so mad and rude that he threaten customer and said he can evict the customer any time from the property and will make sure to not allow again to reserve the room in future.
8. Mostly travel groups are there in hotel and they don't care about any new business and behave horribly with customers, since manager Dan Karki have created this culture I have no doubt all other associate following this same attitude and work culture.
9. Worst hotel to stay in bay area and ruin your vacation or trip.
Breathtakingly Beautiful! – Absolutely gorgeous! From the moment you walk in, it's hard to miss the breathtaking decor. Giant chandeliers, intricately designed furniture, tapestries galore. Even the bathrooms are beautiful. I can only imagine what the rooms look like. (and I can only imagine what the price must be like!) I stopped by here on a Wednesday evening with a big group of girls for a cocktail. I went with a boring 'ol Fat Tire beer, but the others got fancy and ordered martini's and other colorful beverages. The truffle infused fries were gobbled down in seconds. And the art was amazing! Great place to come for a fancy cocktail.
Iconic - In a class of its own – The Palace Hotel is a historic hotel going back to late 1800's and was burnt down during the 1906 earthquake and rebuilt in 1909. The hotel is the oldest in San Francisco. If you're expecting some kind of SF view (recommend hotels in Knob Hill area), novelty architecture or a modern hotel like a Marriot or a W this is not it—The Palace is the palace.
The palace has beautiful architecture, long and wide corridors, marble stair cases and high ceilings—the feeling of history is all around here (including famous guest). The main lobby has the famous Garden Court restaurant which is breathe taking; I thought I was in Christine Chapel for a moment when I walked in. You may of notice it in the movie "The Game" with Michael Douglas (crashing though ceiling). The Palace also has historic Pied Piper Bar & Maxfield's restaurant (main eatery), named after Maxfeld Parrish who painted the original mural "Pied Piper" over the bar (probably worth millions too).
The staff at the hotel from the bellmen to the front desk were friendly and helpful. The hotel is situated where you can walk (flat walking and no hills) to tourist areas like Union Square and Chinatown. The Museum of Modern Art and a BART station (subway) is nearby. Valet parking is available, I recommend calling valet from your room to avoid a long wait especially in busy hours. There are nearby restaurants in the area including McDonalds and local coffee shops. I had a superior room with a flat screen 32 inch TV and it was very comfortable and average size with high ceilings. I did notice the walls are thin like many hotels and did hear at times my neighbors, generally speaking, quiet at night including the hallways. I always book a hotel with a pool and Jacuzzi, the large pool is very nice but the Jacuzzi is small and only holds 4 people. My one complaint for the entire stay and its minor is the Jacuzzi never seemed to be completely filled to the top, water low by 10+ inches. Facilities also include a fitness center and sauna.
In summary, The Palace is a hotel to experience, I recommend reading about it's history and make sure you have breakfast in the Garden Court. There is a free historic group tour of the hotel (and other tours throughout SF), check with hotel concierge.
Nice Hotel – The Palace is a nice place to stay. The rooms are on the small side. They have a great Jazz Brunch on the weekends.
The place is a palace, techcrunch40 event here was awesome – The multiple conference rooms and lobby that connects them all is brilliant and made for moving quickly from networking and watching sessions to one on ones and doing business...
Valet parking a nightmare – Upon departure it took Valet just under one hour to get my car from the garage across the street. Had to remind them 4 times that I was still waiting as I watched many others come and go.
Otherwise a beautiful old hotel. Staff overall was extremely pleasant. Location was good. Parking was just a bummer and I am waiting to see if the hotel does anything about a complaint I filed over the parking problem.
I would say you can probably do better for the money in SF..
I stayed here with my husband and our dog on a weekend, just to get away from the norm. I think it was around $500 a night, and the sheets weren't even Egyptian cotton. Boring and old fashioned! This place very badly needs a makeover.
Oh, and the buffet was a bit of a bomb too. Uninspired and the sushi was nowhere near fresh.
Recomended.. – My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at the Palace Hotel, and the staff went over the top for us. The restaurant on site was unbelievable too. Our room was spacious, and we had a perfect view of the skyline and trees of Houston. Only negative was that the room decor was a bit dated. After all I want to give this hotel 4 star.
